First ReadingGenesis 2:4b-9, 15-17*

From the Book of Genesis

4This is the history of the generations of the heavensand of the earth when they were created,in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.5No plant of the field was yet on the earth,and no herb of the field had yet sprung up;for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth.There was not a man to till the ground,6but a mist went up from the earth,and watered the whole surface of the ground.7The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground,and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;and man became a living soul.8The Lord God planted a garden eastward,in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.9Out of the ground the Lord God made every tree to growthat is pleasant to the sight,and good for food,including the tree of life in the middle of the gardenand the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. verses 10–14 are not read15The Lord God took the man,and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.16The Lord God commanded the man,saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;17but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 104:1-2a, 27-28, 29bc-30*

1Bless the Lord, my soul.The Lord, my God, you are very great.You are clothed with honor and majesty.2He covers himself with light as with a garment.He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

27These all wait for you,that you may give them their food in due season.28You give to them; they gather.You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

29You hide your face; they are troubled.You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.30You send out your Spirit and they are created.You renew the face of the ground.

GospelMark 7:14-23

From the Gospel according to Mark

14He called all the multitude to himself and said to them,“Hear me, all of you, and understand.15There is nothing from outside of the manthat going into him can defile him;but the things which proceed out of the man are thosethat defile the man.

17When he had entered into a house away from the multitude,his disciples asked him about the parable.18He said to them, “Are you also without understanding?Don’t you perceivethat whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,19because it doesn’t go into his heart,but into his stomach,then into the latrine,making all foods clean?”20He said, “That which proceeds out of the man,that defiles the man.21For from within, out of the hearts of men,proceed evil thoughts,adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,22covetings, wickedness,deceit, lustful desires,an evil eye, blasphemy,pride, and foolishness.23All these evil things come from withinand defile the man.”

Dómine, Dóminus noster, quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!

Glória Patri…

CollectOratio

Dómine Jesu Christe, qui, ad recoléndam memóriam dolórum sanctíssimæ Genetrícis tuæ, per septem beátos Patres nova Servorum ejus família Ecclésiam tuam fœcundásti: concéde propítius; ita nos eórum consociári flétibus, ut perfruámur et gáudiis:

Qui vivis…

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, to keep alive the memory of Your most holy Mother’s sorrows, through the seven holy fathers enriched your Church with a new family of her Servants, graciously grant that we may be so united with them in their sorrows, as also to share their joys.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 44:1-15

Laudémus viros gloriósos et paréntes nostros in generatióne sua. Multam glóriam fecit Dóminus magnificéntia sua a sǽculo. Dominántes in potestátibus suis, hómines magni virtúte et prudéntia sua præditi, nuntiántes in prophétis dignitátem prophetárum, et imperántes in præsénti pópulo, et virtúte prudéntiæ pópulis sanctíssima verba. In perítia sua requiréntes modos músicos, et narrántes cármina scripturárum. Hómines dívites in virtúte, pulchritúdinis stúdium habéntes: pacificántes in dómibus suis. Omnes isti in generatiónibus gentis suæ glóriam adépti sunt, et in diébus suis habéntur in láudibus. Qui de illis nati sunt, reliquérunt nomen narrándi laudes eórum. Et sunt, quorum non est memória: periérunt, quasi qui non fúerint: et nati sunt, quasi non nati, et fílii ipsórum cum ipsis. Sed illi viri misericórdiæ sunt, quorum pietátes non defuérunt: cum sémine eórum pérmanent bona, heréditas sancta nepótes eórum, et in testaméntis stetit semen eórum: et fílii eórum propter illos usque in ætérnum manent: semen eórum et glória eórum non derelinquétur. Córpora ipsórum in pace sepúlta sunt, et nomen eórum vivit in generatiónem et generatiónem. Sapiéntiam ipsórum narrent pópuli, et laudem eórum núntiet Ecclésia.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Ecclus 44:1-15

Let us now praise men of renown, our ancestors, each in his own time. The Lord has wrought great glory through His magnificence from the beginning. Rulers of the earth by their authority, men of renown for their might, or counselors in their wisdom, or seers of all things in prophecy; resolute governors of peoples, or judges with discretion; authors skilled in composition, or poets with collected proverbs; composers of melodious psalms, or discoursers on lyric themes; stalwart men, solidly established, lovers of beauty, and at peace in their own estates - all these were glorious in their time, each illustrious in his day. Some of them have left behind a name that is remembered to their praise; but of others there is no memory, for it perished when they perished, and they are as though they had never lived, they and their children after them. Yet these also were godly men whose virtues have not been forgotten; their wealth remains in their families, their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed has stood in the covenants. And their children for their sakes remain forever; their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. All these are buried in peace, but their name lives on and on. At gatherings their wisdom is retold and the assembly sings their praises.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 19:27-29

In illo témpore: Dixit Petrus ad Jesum: Ecce, nos relíquimus ómnia, et secúti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis? Jesus autem dixit illis: Amen, dico vobis, quod vos, qui secúti estis me, in regeneratióne, cum séderit Fílius hóminis in sede majestátis suæ, sedébitis et vos super sedes duódecim, judicántes duódecim tribus Israël. Et omnis, qui relíquerit domum, vel fratres, aut soróres, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxórem, aut fílios, aut agros, propter nomen meum, céntuplum accípiet, et vitam ætérnam possidébit.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 19:27-29.

At that time, Peter said to Jesus, Behold, we have left all and followed You; what then shall we have? And Jesus said to them, Amen I say to you that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit on the throne of His glory, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.

OffertoryOffertorium

Addúcam eos in montem sanctum meum, et lætificábo eos in domo oratiónis meæ: holocáusta eórum et víctimæ eórum placébunt mihi super altáre meum.

Isa 56:7

I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their holocausts and sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar.

SecretSecreta

Accipe, quǽsumus, Dómine, hóstias quas tibi offérimus: et præsta; ut, intercedéntibus Sanctis tuis, libera tibi mente serviámus, et perdoléntis Vírginis Genetrícis Fílii tui amóre inflammémur.

Per eúndem…

Accept, we beseech You, O Lord, the sacrificial gifts we offer, so that by the intercession of Your saints we may serve You with freedom of mind and be set on fire with love for the sorrowing Mother of Your Son.

PrefacePrefatio

Communis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:

Common

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:

Cœléstibus refécti mystériis te, Dómine, deprecámur: ut, quorum festa percólimus imitántes exémpla; juxta Crucem Jesu cum María Matre ejus fidéliter astémus, et ejúsdem redemptiónis fructum percípere mereámur.

Per eúndem…

Strengthened by the heavenly sacrament, we beseech You, O Lord, that, following the example of those whose feast we are keeping, we may faithfully stand beneath the Cross of Jesus with Mary, His Mother, and be found worthy to receive the fruit of His redemption.
